Not far from this iconic Ohio landmark awaits yet another abandoned train tunnel: the King’s Hollow Tunnel in New Marshfield. In fact, it sits along the same former railroad line as the Moonville Tunnel.

The tunnel was built in 1855 when it was originally used by the Marietta & Cincinnati Railroad. Over the course of its lifespan, it also served the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and CSC Railroad.

Ever since the 1980s, the tunnel has remained abandoned. Yet it’s by no means forgotten; many a hiker and explorer have braved to hike to this hidden gem of a destination.

One factor that sets this abandoned tunnel apart is that it’s completely timber-lined. This is quite a feat considering the fact that it’s 352 feet long.
